Benjamin's Journal

20 Years and still Counting

Its Been A Very Long Time.
[info]thisisbenlai
okay as the title of this post suggests,
it has been awhile since i came to livejournal.
you know when u start a blog or something similar,
you tend to be excited over it and keep updating it initially.
as times goes, it starts becoming a chore,
and you will eventually start to lose interest.
well that was what happened to me.
however, i found some time in my 'hectic' life.
just wanted to keep this page alive.

next in case anyone of you are wondering,
i am still in the army.
aug 23rd 2010 is my last day though.
disrupting to be able to enrol in ntu.
army life is so slack for me,
even though i am a recce.
think i will miss ns somehow.

i tend to stay at home most of the time.
reason being i cannot find people to go out with.
and my girlfriend is constantly working.
so i only play games or go out buy food home.
and every saturday play soccer with my secondary school buddies.

time to start studying soon.
i cleanly forgotten every single shit i've learnt in poly.
i think i am going to die in ntu.
S.O.S
plus i even lost my maths textbook.
argh .!.

Nothing To Do
[info]thisisbenlai
About Me:
ladies and gentlemen my name ben lai,
call me wrongly i will poke your eye.
make me angry i promise i make you fly,
fly through the endless deep blue sky.

at first you may think i'm as cold as ice,
once you know me you will think i'm nice.
actually i'm just an average guy,
a trustworthy person you can rely.

i love to eat beef meat,
and 'fruit plus' the sweet.
my wallet feels the heat,
i'm always on the hot seat.

i like electronic devices,
but i hate their steep prices.
how much more sacrifices,
until my income suffices?

i like to disturb friends,
it is now the latest trend.
if i happen to offend,
i will quickly make amends.

i know this is lame,
it will bring me shame.
there is no one to frame,
for i am the only one to blame.

Recce Commander Course (13th July - 7th August)
[info]thisisbenlai
what can i say?
what a tough course it was.
actually its quite manageable.
only in the beginning life was hell.
so many lectures and tests.
and in the midst of it were fast marches.
and i still remember the navigation march.
60km in total and my team completed in 27hrs.

then came the training for the missions.
fun but taxing as well.
deep inside enemy lines.
not affording to make any stupid sounds.
heart pounding tremendously.

prisoner of war training was the worst.
worst experience in my life to date.
felt like shit for the duration.
but felt like king after it.

and finally after the two grueling months,
i am recce trained!

Long Time No Post
[info]thisisbenlai
nowadays blardie busy man.
somemore my recce course going to start.
its next monday by the way.
so its 3 more days to hell.
everyday now passes by so fast.
most of the time pondering over whether i can make it.
how sia.
i very scared.
that aside,
i have watched Blood the movie.


A vampire named Saya, who is part of covert government agency that hunts and destroys demons in a post-WWII Japan, is inserted in a military school to discover which one of her classmates is a demon is disguise.

overall i think this movie ok ok only.
average story plot and average fighting scenes.
one minus point is the computer graphics for the blood.
very very bad.
to be frank,
the reason i watched this movie is becoz of gianna jun.
so chio sia.
somemore last time act my sassy girl.
woots.

yet in a blink of an eye,
all is lost.
tomorrow night booking in already.
recce course going to start already.
how?
i scared later i die inside.
anyways just wanted to comment on the
2 movies which i have watched this week.
firstly,


Security guard Larry Daley infiltrates the Smithsonian Institute in order to rescue Jedediah and Octavius, who have been shipped to the museum by mistake.

this show ok ok only.
just make you laugh.
nothing much about the story line.
recommended to watch if you need to cheer up?

next,


When a meteorite from outer space hits a young woman and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters also rounded up over the years.

this show also not bad la.
but i slept while watching.
oops maybe i am tired.

With Sacrifices Comes Reward
[info]thisisbenlai
super sian man.
dunno why i go volunteer my off day away.
volunteered with my fren to do luggage party.
means i have to report to camp wednesday night,
and help to load and unload all the duffle bags,
for the people going taiwan for exercise.
i think got over 200+ duffle bags lor.
blardie heavy and we were sweating like profusely.
heng the lorry uncle so nice drop us at whitesands,
where i can walk home in like less than 10 mins.
that basically sums up the sacrifice which i made.
(i also missed champions league final lor. knn.)
for the reward part,
my mother bought me an iphone!

though it will be better if it was the 16gb one.
nonetheless its good enuf.
better than nothing at all.
now being at home again,
i can start to rot til my recce commander course start.
sian i just remembered i december going taiwan too.
please dun put me in luggage party.
thanks.

Mock Intrusion Rewards
[info]thisisbenlai
freaking hell,
spent the whole of last week in camp,
practicing for something known as mock intrusion.
well i can only say its an exhibition for the public,
as i am not allowed to reveal things like that haha.
anyways i think that much time was wasted,
when waiting for the rehearsals to start.
wait here wait there,
then rush here rush there.
army life is so chaotic.
i think if the army was much for efficient,
our ns life can be cut short to maybe a year,
instead of the 2 years forced down on us.
well with bad things come good things.
the public which experienced our exhibition
gave us very good feedback,
as can be seen from the smiles on their faces.
our oc gave us 4 days off!
yipee!
tues, wed, thurs, fri off!!!!!!!!!!!!
but i have to still book in tonight and book out tmr.
what the crap.

Random Poem for My Darling
[info]thisisbenlai
Oh my darling,
Oh my darling,
Oh my darling,
Hear me sing.
You are lovely,
What a cutie,
You are always dear to me.

Darling why you so naughty,
Just like our dear monkey.
Let us make a deal,
You must not skip any meal.

If you promise to behave,
I will forever be your slave.
I will do your bidding,
It's you I'm only loving.

Each of us take turns,
To show care and concern.
But now it will always be,
Showers of love from me.

Oh my darling,
Oh my darling,
Oh my darling,
Hear me sing.
Monkey love you,
Ben Lai love you,
We are always there for you!

lol really too bored and nothing to do.
hence the creation of this lame poem.
enjoy.
